Hello pjbell and thank you for the question. Having researched your question I was surprised to find that quite alot of study has gone in to this subject. Here are the results of my research: 5 Graphs/charts showing seismic activity during the attacks. (including various links) http://www.geo.arizona.edu/geophysics/faculty/wallace/WTC/index.html Unfortunatley only available in the Google cache, at the time of posting. "Seismic Observations during September 11, 2001, Terrorist Attack" http://216.239.53.100/search?q=cache:fjfzXsQy3cYC:www.mgs.md.gov/esic/publications/download/911pentagon.pdf++%22sept+11%22+seismic&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 Several good quality graphs/charts *NOTE* pdf format. "Seismic Waves Generated by Aircraft Impacts and Building Collapses at World Trade Center, New York City." http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/LCSN/Eq/20010911_WTC/WTC_LDEO_KIM.pdf Online News article "Seismic Stations Record Useful Information on Terrorist Bombings" http://www.spacedaily.com/news/nuclear-blackmarket-02k.html Online News article "Damage to buildings near World Trade Center Towers caused by falling debris and air pressure wave, not ground shaking, seismologists report" http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2001-11/agu-dtb111501.php Online News article "Preliminary measurements made by Lamont-Doherty analysts are summarized in the Table below: Information Based on Seismic Waves recorded at Palisades New York" http://www.firehouse.com/tech/news/2002/0121_terrorist.html During my research the name of Terry Wallace (University of Arizona) came up alot. I would suggest that he is a leading authority on this subject (if not THE leading authority) and he can be contacted through his website at the University of Arizona here: http://www.geo.arizona.edu/geophysics/faculty/wallace/Wallace.html Thank you for the question, and if you need any clarification regarding my answer, please do not hesitate to ask.
